Hebrews 8:5

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Who, [ hoitines (G3748)] - Being persons who.

Serve unto the example - not 'after the example,' as Bengel; but as Hebrews 13:10, 'serve (the tabernacle, which is but) the outline and shadow.' [ Hupodeigmati (G5262), "example," is the sketch or suggestive representation of the heavenly sanctuary-the antitypical reality and primary archetype.] "The mount" answers to heaven, Hebrews 12:22.

Admonished, [ kechreematistai (G5537)] - expresses divine responses and commands.

To make, [ epitelein (G2005)] - perfectly. See - Accurately observe, that thou mayest make, etc.

Saith he - God.

The pattern, [ tupon (G5179)] - An accurate representation, in vision to Moses, of the heavenly sanctuary. The earthly tabernacle was copy of a copy, which accurately represented the grand archetypal original in heaven (Exodus 25:40).
